IRONING-MACHINE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 427,463, dated May 6, 1890.

Application filed April 13, 1889. Serial No. 307,140. (No model.)

T0 00% whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JOHN J. DALEY, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Bro'oklyinin the county of Kings and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Ironing-llfachines; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, which will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

My invention relates to improvements in ironing-machines; and the object of the invention is to provide simple, durable, and inexpensive means to produce an even pressure on the ironing-table to effect a perfect ironing of the fabric.

The invention consists in the novel construction, combination, and arrangement of parts, all as hereinafter described, and specifically claimed.

Figure 1 represents a side elevation, partly broken away, of an ironinganachine embodying my invention. Fig. 2 represents an end elevation thereof.

Referring by letters to the drawings, in which similar letters denote corresponding parts in said figures, A designates the stand or frame of the machine; B, the heated roll carrying gear-wheel B; O, the large gearwheel meshing with the gear B, and D the driving-gear on shaft E.

F designates cleats secured to the stand or frame on each side, and in which moves the table G, earryin g the ironin g-board or stand H.

In the stand or frame are pivoted one end of the levers .T, carrying arms K, in which are 3' ournaled guide-rollers L, which bear against the under side of the table G, and mounted in the levers J between the rollers L is the pressure-roll M, which rotates againstthe table G and presses the ironing-stand H against the heated roll. In the free end of the levers J are adjustable screws N, having disks 0 on their lower ends, which are in contact with pressure-springs P, mounted on brackets Q, secured to the frame.

R designates adjusting-screws which bear against the ends of the levers adjacent to the screws N.

The operation is as follows: The fabric to be ironed is placed onthe ironing-stand of the table, and motion is transmitted to the ironing-roll. The contact of the ironing-roll with the stand on which the fabric is placed, and which stand is forced against the ironlug-roll by means of the pressure-roll and spring, causes the table to move under the ironing-roll and effect the ironing of the clothes, as will be readily understood.

The advantage of placing the pressuresprings at one end is that they prevent the table from tilting during the operation of ironing.

I claim- In an ironing-machine, the combination, with the frame, the ironing'roll, the ironingboard, and traveling table, the independent levers pivoted to the frame and carrying the guide and pressure rolls, of the adjustingscrews mounted in the free ends of the levers, the springs secured at one end to the frame and bearing against said screws, and the set screws mounted in the frame and bearing against the lovers, substantially as described.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own, I have hereunto affixed my signature in presence of two witnesses.

JOHN J. DALEY.
